Digital services increasingly depend on information generated from users’ online activities, yet the same traces that make these services useful can expose individuals to re-identification and inference. This study develops and evaluates a context-aware Hybrid Local Differential Privacy–Federated Learning (LDP-FL) approach for protecting digital footprints while retaining useful machine-learning performance. The work distinguishes digital footprints into active, passive and hybrid categories and assigns privacy protection according to feature sensitivity rather than applying a single noise level to every attribute. The proposed pipeline perturbs sensitive features locally with a Laplace mechanism, clips local gradients, and uses Federated Averaging to train a global model without centralising raw client data.
